17. Sorry, as an ESL teacher I'm gonna disagree with you...
Whole language is a much better way to teach someone a language in my experience (5 years teaching at levels from Kindergarten to Adult).

I will agree that this theory would definitely not work in languages like Korean (which does have an alphabet), Japanese, Chinese, Greek or many other languages.

I will also agree that this method of writing slows reading comprehension, it certainly took me longer to read the original post as opposed to your post.
